The landlord arrived early and was surprised to see Li Manjun dressed so formally and followed by people.
I didn’t expect that she was a female boss.
Originally, the landlord was a bit tough on paying the rent once every six months. He wanted to pay it once a year. But now he changed his attitude immediately. Without even mentioning it, the two successfully signed the rental contract.
After getting the key, Li Manjun checked the new venue first, noted down the leaks, and immediately went to find someone to replace the awning, asking Xiaoguan to help keep an eye on it.
She was not idle either. She bought a second-hand kilogram scale from a nearby market, found a piece of wood, wrote the words "waste recycling station" on it, made a tag and hung it at the door. The recycling station was basically ready to open.
"I still have to draw up a price list, make two boxes of business cards, and have job advertisements..."
Li Manjun was sitting on a pony left by the original homeowner. There was a wooden box in front of her, which she used as a table, and she wrote a to-do list on it.
Four empty houses are available, one is used as an office reception room, one is used as a dormitory, and the remaining one is used as a warehouse, specifically for storing precious metals.
Waste paper and plastic are flammable, so you must pay attention to fire prevention. You must plan what to put in each area and how to put it.
The awning was replaced very quickly and was completed in one morning. Seeing that Li Manjun was so busy without even raising his head, Xiaoguan bought lunch and the two of them finished their lunch together using the wooden box.
After the meal, Li Manjun asked Xiaoguan: "Do you know where there is a second-hand furniture market near here?"
There are a lot of things that need to be added to this recycling bin, such as tables, chairs, benches, shelves, and packing rope bags.
"I know, boss lady, what do you want to buy?" Xiaoguan found that Li Manjun was decisive, organized and courageous, so he called her boss lady instead of sister-in-law.
They run freight. They know how many streets there are in Rongcheng and which street sells what. They don't need a map.
"That's great. I have a list here. You can buy it and buy it. I have to go to the printing shop to print something." Li Manjun tore out the list from his notebook and handed it to Xiaoguan.
"By the way, I'll give you the approximate price first."
Xiaoguan looked through all the items on the list. He had just purchased everything he needed from Junda Freight Company. He was very clear about the price of these office furniture and asked Li Manjun to give him 800 yuan first. He would refund the excess and make up for the remainder.
"Our company has its own channels for these packing rope bags and so on. I'll tell them and let them deliver them to you at the wholesale price. Boss lady, how much do you want?"
This can save some money. After all, the boss and the wife belong to the same family. Mr. Zhao will definitely arrange it this way if he knows about it.
Li Manjun was overjoyed. She didn't expect to be able to take advantage of her husband's company, so she quoted a number to Xiaoguan.
The two of them split up, Xiaoguan went to the second-hand furniture market, and Li Manjun went to the print shop.
"Boss, I want to print 200 advertisements and 100 business cards. How much discount can I give?"
As soon as she entered the print shop, Li Manjun put her bag on the empty printer, raised her head and asked.
When people get along with each other, it is not that harmony and friendship can improve efficiency. No one is polite when talking about money.
Although she only got 300 copies, she still had to show the momentum of 3,000 copies. Starting a business is not easy, and every point she can save is worth it.
The owner of the printing shop said that he could get a 10% discount. He was the only printing shop in the south area of the city. Li Manjun really had no place to compare, so the total price was simply not high.
Li Manjun handed the draft he had prepared to his boss, "I'll make the business card just like this. I've also written the advertisement. You can print it out accordingly."
"Can I come and get it tomorrow?"
"Okay, you can come pick it up tomorrow afternoon, and I'll work overtime tonight to help you print it out." The boss said with a smile.
Li Manjun glanced at the several copiers in his shop, and then looked at the business license on the wall, which read the name of the printing shop, Xinheng Copy.
He nodded secretly and wrote it down.
"Do you have any waste paper in your store?" Li Manjun asked tentatively.
The boss handed the draft to the typist. When he heard her question, he turned around in surprise, "You haven't left yet. There is not much waste paper in our shop. Why, do you want it?"
He has already seen what is written on the draft paper. The business card should be printed "Lvman Environmental Recycling Company, General Manager Li Manjun", and the advertisement also has slogans such as free door-to-door recycling.
Coupled with the job advertisement, it was not difficult to guess what industry the young woman in front of him was in.
Li Manjun nodded, "Yes, if the quantity is large, I can come and collect it for free. The price is the same as at the scrap recycling bin."
The shop owner glanced at the address on the draft and saw that it wasn't that far away. "It's not a lot. If you don't mind the trouble, come here once a month."
If you can come up with some money, you can buy several bottles of soda for just a few dollars, not to mention they don't need to deliver them.
Li Manjun smiled, "Then it's agreed, I'll have someone give you a frame later, specifically for holding waste paper."
The shop owner was amused by her, she really didn't let go of any fly's legs.
Before leaving, Li Manjun also said: "If you have any discarded mechanical and electronic products, you can contact me. The phone number is on the draft. Our company accepts all second-hand items."
"Really? Are you going to accept the unused printing press?" Seeing that Li Manjun was about to leave, the shop owner stopped her in a hurry.
Li Manjun turned around, raised an eyebrow and asked: "Collect it, it's considered scrap metal, do you have it?"
With that said, he walked into the store again and asked the boss what he called me.
"My surname is Jin and my given name is Heng. Since you are younger than me, you can call me Lao Jin or Brother Jin."
"Brother Jin." Li Manjun called him directly and asked curiously: "Where is the printing press that needs to be sold?"
She had already seen that Jin Heng did not have a printing press, but he knew where one had one.
Li Manjun took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag and handed one to Jin Heng, "Brother Jin, take one, help set up a line, and treat you to dinner later."
Jin Heng looked at her in surprise, "You smoke too?"
Li Manjun shook his head, "I don't smoke, but people around me smoke and always keep them."
Talking back to the printing press, Jin Heng said with a smile while sucking the Huazi handed by Li Manjun that he had a friend who worked as a small leader in the printing factory. The above equipment was replaced with new equipment. These old ones were eliminated and he was looking for a replacement.
Where are the buyers?
Li Manjun originally thought it was one or two, but when asked, Jin Heng said there were more than a dozen.
"How about I give you his phone number and you can contact him yourself?" Jin Heng turned his back and blew out a smoke ring. He was also busy and had no time to help Li Manjun get in touch.
This is not possible. What's the point of contacting someone without acquaintance? The other party will definitely not like her.
Li Manjun gave the remaining cigarettes to Jin Heng in a whole pack and asked him to ask his friend if he could make an appointment to meet.
Jin Heng took the cigarette and nodded in agreement because of the 300% order Li Manjun placed here.
